TWO armament South Norwalk Visited by An ' Early Morning Fire. Three Horses Burned to a Crisp in the Flames. t 2 o’clock Thursday morning Mrs. Mary Barrett,who lives at 144 So. Main 'street, South N orwalk, discovered the barn owned by John Drescher on Grove street and leased by Philip Lut- ter, the Woodward avenue baker. on fire. When Mrs. Barrett first saw the flames the barn was burning fiercely and she hastened to awake her son, ex- Judge Edward Barrett, and the latter ran to box 9, on Cross street, to ring in an alarm. He was delayed in securing a key and it was some time before an alarm was rung in. In the meantime Mrs. Barrett had awakened E. M. Tolles, her next door neighbor, whose barn abutted against the Drescher building. Mr. Tolles was soon dressed and on the scene, but thought it unnecessary to remove his horses, expecting the fire department would arrive in a few minutes and ex- tinguish the burning Drescher barn. Judge Barrett’s delay in obtaining the key to the fire alarm' box allowed the flames to entirely consume the burning building and set fire to the Tolles barn. As soon as Mr. Tolles saw the flames attack his barn he at once removed all of his horses, vehicles and a good por- tion of the grain stored in the building. The fire department was promptly on the scene after the alarm was sent in, but when they arrived the Drescher barn and its contents had been de- stroyed and the Tolles barn was on fire in the upper portion where a number of tons of hay and straw was stored. Water was soon turned on and a stubborn fight made by the firemen, but before the flames were subdued the Tolles barn was gutted. In the Drescher barn were Mr. Lutc ter’s three horses and two wagons. These were entirely consumed as was everything else in the building. Mr.‘ Tolles’ barn was a handsome brick building with a slate roof, and the loss will be considerable. He was fully insured, however, with Taylor & Golden and A. E. Austin. Had not Mr. Tolles’ barn been of brick and thoroughly wet by the rain, nothing could have prevented aserious conflagration in the neighborhood, owing to the delay in getting the fire department on the scene. Mr. Lutter was also fully insured having $600 on his horses, wagons, etc., with Taylor a Golden. - Mr. Drescher had an insurance of $200 on his barn with Taylor &. Golden. The origin of the fire is a mystery. nennés Til-DAY. Col. Sheridan Completes Thirty Years, Service in C. N. G. At noon to-day the resignation of Col.

The county commissioners have re- fused a license to Mrs. Annie Gluck in This brings to an end one of the. hardest fought contests over a li- cense that this board of commissioners has had. . Mrs. Gluck came to Darien a stran- ger. She hired the old house down by the river and not far from the Roway- ton station. She had things fitted up in good style and she proposed to open the house where the very best of meals could be served to gentlemen who de- sired to enjoy a quiet time. But there is only a narrow river sep- arating the place where Mrs. Gluck wished to locate from Rowayton that is cold water to the backbone. When it was known that Mrs. Gluck had applied for a license this section was up in arms and a tremendous remonstrance was lodged. I The Dari- en people did not care much about it. It would not bother them ‘much and the town would be in just so much more money. But theRowayton people would have none of it. When the hearing was held at the town hall in Darien a great crowd was in attendance. All were against the granting of the license. son to appear in favor of it was Mrs. Gluck herself. But the contest did not end here. Friends of Mrs. Gluck tried to bring influences to bear in a quiet way, and the energetic woman, herself, was not The only per- slow to bring forward everything that might act in her favor. The commissioners, however, could not hesitate. They had before them the decision of Judge Samuel 0. Pren- tice in a similar case and there was I nothing to do but refuse it. It is said that the reason why the Rowayton people were so strongly op- posed to Mrs. Gluck was because she transacted all her business herself. She engaged the carpenter, hired the plumber and bossed things generally. This did not suit Rowayton’s idea of what a woman should be and they were one and all against her. l7 BICYCLE FOUND. John Techan’s Stolen Wheel Recovered in Bridgeport. The Columbia bicycle which was stolen from John Techan. of South Nor- walk, while he was in Bridgeport on Saturday last, was found yesterday morning in N. W. Bishop’s yard in that city. Who the thief was is not known, but he has been careful of the wheel and kept it in good condition. The tires and all parts of the wheel are in ex- cellent shape with the exception of the chain which is a little rusty. J ohn. has been notified that his wheel has been recovered, and will promptly secure it. Who is to Blame .9‘ Who is responsible for the medical and sanitary conditions prevailing at Santiago de Cuba? The stories that come to us from the field of battle and from the transports coming North with the sick men of the army are heart- rending. We know that the lack of medical appliances, of medicines, of ordinary comforts, of doctors and nurses, was criminal. We know that if it had not been for the Red Cross Society, conditions would have been more murderous than they actually have been. But who is responsible ‘9 At the very outset of the expedition from Tampa the wrong began. Whether sufficient medical supplies for the army were taken or not, not nearly enough reached the front. ’ 'We are told that a sufficient supply was forwarded, and that a sufficient supply of good and nourishing food, in- cluding canned soups and fresh meat was actually shipped on the transports to Santiago, but we know that the soldiers never had them. In the war cartoon taken from Harper’s Weekly, Columbia cries to Uncle Sam, “You will fix the responsibility, or the coun- 'try will”—and this will surely come cines. about. There is nothing more sicken- ing than the story of the Concho, er:- espt it be that of the other transp )rts. It is the story of men sick with fever, crowded into noisome holes, drinking foul water, without necessary medi- And these sick men are the soldiers who have fought our battle; the soldiers of the richest and most resourceful nation of the world. There is another story, too, that of wounded soldiers on the field of battle without surgical aid, and that of other wounded men walking miles and miles to the rear for doctors and hospital, some of them surviving, and all of them displaying the heroism of mar- tyrs. The campaign of Santiago illus- trated the magnificent virtues of the American soldier, but it gave an op- portunity to some careless criminal, to , Who ’ whom justice should'be done. is he?
